I bet you’ve never given much thought to your cooking spoons. Objects one barely glances at before getting shoved in the shopping trolley. However, as I shall prove, they do deserve your attention.
Cooking spoons seem rather simple devices. You stir the food with them while cooking. That’s it. A spoon should be heat-resistant and long enough to reach all the way to the bottom, even in larger pots. There, it should loosen lightly fried food from the bottom of the pot. Despite its ease of use, our selection of cooking spoons is wide.
The classic wooden cooking spoon
Classic spoons feature a pointed trowel with a hole, also called bowl, and a round turned handle. Virtually irreplaceable as a kitchen utensil, you can find such wooden spoons in almost any household or catering business.
Why not order the classics in a 3-piece combo set? There’s guaranteed to be something for everyone. Especially interesting for novice cooks, the product is suitable for ages 3 and up.
Careful, these are just toys.
This olive wood cooking spoon is a handmade kitchen tool. The oiled surface makes this spoon particularly resistant to moisture.
Modern plastic
Some don’t like the feel of wood, relying on plastic instead. It’s more supple and doesn’t discolour as easily as wood.
Ideal for Teflon cookware. Use the spoon without hesitation, as it won’t damage the sealant in any way.
Bring some colour into your grey kitchen! The Colourworks cooking spoon provides for cheeky accents at the stove. Even neater: thanks to its hole, you can also hang the spoon wherever you want according to your kitchen decor.
If the Colourworks cooking spoon isn’t eye-catching enough, you can hang this high-quality art print of a cooking spoon on your wall.

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
